In the early 80's I had a Regatta cagoule and matching overtrousers which were both proofed by means of smooth rubber linings. I used to like going out to the local paper shop on wet Sundays wearing just the trousers against my bare skin. Quite "arousing".

I hope you all wear your hoods up, its lovely wearing two or three hoods up at once. Have you ever worn a long nylon mack with nothing underneath while out for a walk,? there is nothing else quite like it. NylonMack what was your mums nylon mack you wore like? My mum had a red hooded mack which she on occasions made me wear.

The royal blue cagoule with white stripes down the arms was my alltime favourite.(

The royal blue and navy blue cagoules with the 1 inch wide, 3 stripe ribbon down the arms, white or metal zips and white drawstrings with bell shaped bobbles on the end of the cords. Oh and noisy nylon of course and really glossy waterproofing inside.
An absolute standard back in the day they must have been manufactured in the millions back then.
I'm surprised just how few have appeared on ebay over the years. I bet loads have ended up in landfill.

Oh dear, I'm sorry. It's not for sale.
I like how it looks over a button down shirt.
It's the extreme contrast between a cotton button down shirt and nylon zip-up cagoule
Even the screeching the nylon makes when you slide the edge of one of the buttons
across the nylon is bizarre.
Maybe I'll take some more pictures.
